I think that only happens when you have a message in excess of 144 chars outside your provider though? Is it not broken up on hangouts on the phone itself?

I use the stock messaging system. Yes it breaks it up and appears like that on the phone as well, and I am on Cricket which doesn't do roaming so I am always on my provider (AT&T network). It breaks it up after a certain amount of characters and will split up words instead of putting the whole word in the next message like phone texting apps do.

We're on Verizon. My wife gets broken up texts all the time mainly from her best friend who is on AT&T. I always wondered if it was AT&T and not the iPhone that caused that.
